| If I'm thinking "community" right? Anyways, what I HATE! ... is how Japan chooses their adaptions of anime (they are great, but let me tell you what I hate about it) I HATE how they just decide to air some anime (based on manga), when the manga isn't finished. And that they then end the anime with a filler... |
| Pretty much, I hate it when they end an anime with fillers and don't follow the manga completly... |
| About all of it I hate. Petty, crude, and compulsive. And you're threatened to be swallowed up if you don't conform to this standard. |
| I don't like people who like anime; you know, the stereotypical anime nerd. Chubby, pimples, glasses, no sense of fashion, what have you. Besides that I don't care ^.^ |

Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| I do hide my power level. I'm not ashamed of it, either. The only time it peeks through is the one time a year when I go to an anime convention. And it's because of people I've seen there that make me ashamed of my own damn fandom. Over the internet, I don't mind it nearly as much, because I did it myself. But when someone is screaming that they want to "glomp" you, I have a problem with that. For some reason, people at anime conventions think that running up and hugging someone they don't know is perfectly acceptable. Especially when they're wearing thirty pounds of costume. Also, I'm a fujoshi in the comfort of my own house/with my best friend/on the internet, but not in public. So no, thirteen year old girl writing fanfiction, I will not tell you who my favorite pairing is. |

| I hate the people that overexagerate moe, i hate both sides, the one that likes shit shows cause its cute and the ones that hate shows cause they have a cute art style can both of you just shut the hell up and judge based off the shows actual quality and writing instead |
Immahnoob said: Jizzy, I know you have no idea how to argue for shit, tokiyashiro said: Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Likes: -Generally more accepting -Diverse -A pretty "up to date" group of people. Probably because they spend so much time online that they stumble upon news articles every so often. Dislikes: -People who cosplay at non-conventions. -People who think that their opinions on (insert anime) is the end all be all -People who have watched a lot of anime, so they don't consider people who have only seen a few "actual" fans -People who seem to find some sort of way to incorporate "kawaii" into every sentence -Nerds irl who feel the need to be assholes online to gain back their bravado -Guys who watch anime (amongst other nerdy things I'm sure) who complain on message boards how they're "the nice guy that their best friend wants, but they're never noticed." The woe is me guy. (yes, I hate when girls constantly talk about how there are no nice guys, but usually these girls don't watch too much anime. The "nice guys" do) As a community, I don't really dislike anything. It's only specific people that I've seen on forums and message boards that make me go "srsly fuck off" @holypoop J-pop America Fun Time Now is the only SNL skit I've watched over and over. Just so fucking accurate and hilarious. |

All of these points. |
| Likes Dislikes . . .Pretty much it. |
| I don't know about the exactly what the 'anime community' refers to, but since I have no friends in RL that watch anime, I'm going to base things off of this site: Dislikes: -lots of young people/ people who can't express themselves well -too much small talk for the sake of small talk, although I don't want to make any assumptions as to what this is a result of -anime hipsters -all the negative things associated with any popular entertainment business Likes: -accepting and generally kind community, where anyone can feel welcome -disproves stereotypes about who does and doesn't enjoy anime |

I'm apart of a forum that has approx 20 active members, lol. It used to have more, but it died out. I still go on there because we've all been friends since 2006, but there's usually only 3 or so people online at a time. In comparison to that, MAL usually has 200+ online. Definitely not dead imo. But this is totally OT so I'll shut up now lol. |

Just because someone wants to watch anime dubbed does not mean they are not true anime fans.) In my opinion both dubs and subs are have flaws and neither one is superior. I piss you off then, because I always prefer the sub above the dub. I like to watch things they way they are intented to be and not how the Americans want to see it ;)! IMO it's like watching a fake copy of a painting: it is nice, but it doesn't have the same feeling as the real picture. Well, you might still be an animefan if you watch things in English, but personally I would rather die. |

But you can't really avoid weeaboos.

| Well, I have found in MAL people who are way more smarter than in almost any other site I post in. Which leads to one little thing I don't know if I like or dislike from the anime fandom: its heterogeneity when it comes to expression and discussion; there are many people here who can't make a proper argument, some of them even don't try and hold that stupid reason that "everybody is entitled to their opinion" like a dogma, but in other threads it's easy to find long walls of text from people who clearly know what are they talking about. In general I would agree with what has been mentioned as positive points. The anime community is open, accepting of new fans, and it tends to be accepting too when it comes to tastes and even those which in other places would be dismissed as sick or absurd. I somehow like too that people tend to take their shit seriously, specially when it leads to artistic expression or thorough exploration of the manga/anime, reading and looking for interpretations, opinions... I think that's the best part of being a fan, and the anime world in special seems to tend to promote this. What I dislike... well, any extremism. From fans who are not able to accept a criticism from the show they like, to elitists who believe their anime list is the new Holy Bible, etc. And also, that it is so easy to troll. A community without troll users is not a community though, but in the case of anime it can become annoyingly excessive. What I don't care about... people who cosplay, have their rooms decorated with plushies, posters and figures, want to learn Japanese, etc. I am not going to mess with their life, not my choice ok, as well as I am not affected I don't care. |

It's primary because it's an anime forum. So what can you talk about? Anime are pretty much what they are, you can't debate about anything in them because it's already like that. So I think that's a reason for that lack. |

So I think that's a reason for that lack. Everything is debatable, tastes are subjective but being subjective doesn't mean they can't be analyzed and put in a context; and the fact it is an anime forum should not be a limitation but rather a reinforcement of these debates. I think the level of debates in Anime Discussion in general, and of individual episodes in special, tends to be low, but not because of the stuff itself, but because there is no effort taken. It seems people tend to express themselves more thoroughly when talking about other things (in General Discussion for example), which I, as a member of an anime & manga community, can't say I understand. |

| First off, I'd prefer to start what I dislike about the anime community. For starters, for every genuinely decent human being who happens to watch anime, there's at least a dozen obnoxious Japanese wannabes who actually know nothing of the culture and merely treat the medium as a hip trend. The 'sub elite' types are awful, I don't think I've met people more obnoxious in this community than these people. The community is(obviously) dominated by a younger generation, most of who only want the newest material, and never even consider going back to decades ago to watch credible classics that most likely influenced the current works that they love so much. The rest of my complaints generally just lead to an overall dislike for a lot of people my age in general. Also, being an anime fan doesn't necessarily make you open-minded, or anything close to it. I've seen a ton of homophobic comments on this site, particularly in the news forum. Liking anime doesn't deem you immune to human weakness. It's that kind of delusional thinking that's made me so jaded towards the community over the last few years. What do I like? Well, despite all that, again there are some nice people who are at least open to the idea that animation is art, and the storytelling can be just as credible as any film or book. If I wasn't part of this community regardless, I wouldn't have met people who I considers friends, so deep down, I'm still grateful. |

I've seen a ton of homophobic comments on this site, particularly in the news forum I'm just 19, but the thing is I watch only "new" stuff because I think the chances of getting more seasons is higher (seriously, how many anime got over two seasons after 5 years from the last release?), of course I watched older stuff (actually I don't know what old for you means). About the homophobic thing. I don't understand it either. How can somebody be so ignorant? Homosexuals exist for AGES, and it has been proven it's not a disease or mental problems or whatever. If you're gay, you're gay. That's it, you can't change that (from what I know). So that just makes homophobics really intolerant, ignorant and stupid people. |

It NEEDS to compete with others Anime with better quality art, otherwise it just won't do well. This is partly why I found Higurashi such a painful watch. Looks like this thread is going in the right direction. Keep it up. |
| No. |
| Think of it like video games. Yes, there are some amazing classics which can still be enjoyed for everything they brought to the table, but no one can stand to look at a Gameboy Color screen all day when they have a PS3 hooked up to a widescreen LCD screen in their basement. Both art and other factors are capable of making or breaking an anime, so it's nice to have the best of both if possible. |

But truly, why would you diss a game like Xenoblade Chronicles? It's just as you said, the graphics suck, but hey, it's like the highest rated RPG in 2012 at the moment. Best. Gameplay. Ever? You're not much of a gamer if you think that graphics > gameplay, as long as it's not something like splashes that move without any type of animation then I don't see a problem. |

I dunno... there are honestly more Gameboy/Color games I like than PS3/360 games. Video game graphics are even less important than aesthetics in anime though, since at least in games there is a potential for enjoyment if the gameplay is good, even if the story/graphics are bad. But Higurashi isn't even that bad looking, the visuals are at least way better than the VN it was based on. (which is not to say the VN is bad either) |

Well to be honest, I don't mind the size. That's of no importance. Isn't that a matter of taste? Actually that's a bit of a sexual thing, so you can't actually choose what you find attractive, or else you're lying to yourself. Think about it. It's like asking the person in question to change from Heterosexual to Homosexual or Bisexual. It's impossible. |

How seriously do you mean that though? If you were to be given the choice between playing PS3/360 or Gameboy Color right now, which would you choose? I know you're probably going to say Gameboy Color, but tbh you'd be in the extreme, extreme minority if you could say that honestly. |
